OK, first I'm a proud owner of a Crossed Swords Charvel... but what I've been trying to find out for years is WHAT DO THE JAPANESE SYMBOLS on the guitar mean? I can't find it anywhere on the internet, so what better way to ask than here... HELP!!!![/img]

Hi, Mikewaz

It says, "LONDON" in Japanese.

[Mikewaz]

I'm more confused now... Why London? Is there a purpose behind it? Oh and appreciate the quick response... great website...

When I asked Warren a long time ago, he told me that it's done by the artist, and Warren didn't know it's "London" until some Japanese pointed it out. So only the artist knows?? I "guess" that it's used more as a design element than the meaning because the bomber guitar also has "London" in Japanese. I hope that I'll have a chance to ask the artist (I forgot his name, though..) because I absolutely love the graphic!

Sorry, didn't help much...

I appreciate you at least getting me that far. If you ever do find out from the artist WHY he went with London, please don't forget this thread exists - cause I'd love to know the reasoning behind it... :)
